Can a NetStream publisher in Flash pause their stream?

I'm working on a webcam video streaming application utilizing Flash 8 (AS2) and Flash Media Server 3. Streaming the video live is fairly trivial, but I want to give the publisher the ability to pause their stream, effectively giving the people watching a snapshot instead of realtime video.

NetStream has a pause() method, but the documentation says it only applies to subscribers. Is there any way to pause the publishing of a stream?

From stackoverflow

• Pause:

    ns.attachCamera(null);
  

  Resume:

    ns.attachCamera(Camera.getCamera());
  

  Herms : I'll give that a try, thanks.

  Herms : Yep, that worked perfectly.
